Mitch wasn't going to give up that seat easily, and he knew that Russia was going to interfere, and not only wanted it to happen, allowed it to happen.

their Gerrymandering and Corporate Personhood Party for damn sure. That plus the tidal wave of demographic changes that they can hardly keep from holding back now would have destroyed the Regressive Party and given America it's future back.

Can't have that, so I guess we'll go ahead and sell out our Country and Countrymen to a foreign adversary, sure that's the right and moral and Christian thing to do...

If McConnell IS involved, he did it for a COURT SEAT. Think about that. that's how scared they are of not being able to keep their own Power in the Legislature based on the merits of their arguments to We The People.

They have fuck-all NOTHING to offer us, and they KNOW IT.

And they are still acting like they're in campaign mode. All they care about is protecting their stupid fucking majority. They have a free pass to do whatever they damn well please! Their first attempt at doing that failed miserably and their only reaction is "presedenting is hard". Grow the fuck up, do your jobs and quit whining about stupid bullshit and listening to Fux News talking points.

usual dirty tricks with voter suppression, voter reg database purges, manipulation, etc. I think he wasn't the only one who knew. And I think the Rs who think they can do anything they want and not have to answer to constituents also knew/know. R voter suppression has to be addressed as well as Russian influence.

There is no evidence that actual votes were changed which is the only way anybody could have known for certain who would win.

Some Republicans like Richard Burr and Ted Cruz were calling for filibustering any potential Clinton Supreme Court picks for 4 years.

men includes him. How do they all get caught is the question? How can they get convicted if they are in charge of EVERYTHING? The Supreme Court is the next to fall prey. Drip, drip, drip doesn't work if the fox is in charge of the hen house (is that the correct phrase?).
